The National Referral Hospital in Honiara says they've recorded a 50 per cent drop in dengue admissions since the outbreak started.
Although there's still concern about whether the hospital's blood bank has enough supplies to cope with such an outbreak.
So far the number of dengue-related deaths stands at six.
